One of the most inventive horror films of the 2000s, Final Destination pitted a group of hapless teens against an enemy of unimaginable power: death itself. After several students decide to get off a plane after one of them has a premonition that it will explode, and it then actually explodes, the gang finds death coming to reclaim them one by one, in increasingly ridiculous ways. Best Moment: It's never better than the tension and insanity of the opening premonition sequence, though the comic twist ending (in which Carter gets wiped out by a giant sign in Paris) is pretty close. Sequels: Four sequels have followed to date of varied quality. 2 and 5 are easily the best (5 in particular has a great ending and intriguing twist on the series formula), while 4 is without question the worst. Word has been pretty quiet on a sixth film for the last 3 years, even with the strong financial success of 5.
